This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Having learned from his previous mistake, he certainly cannot repeat it.

To avoid being kissed, the only option is to actively refuse.

A forceful refusal might work this time, but it would undoubtedly only fuel the other person's desire to conquer.

The other party may continue to push the boundaries in the future.

After all, the more you resist, the more agitated some people become.

They might even lose control one day and cook the rice directly into a fait accompli.

Therefore, a soft rejection is necessary.

Attacking the city is the next step, attacking the heart is the top step.

Only when the other person resonates with the emotions you express and prioritizes your feelings will they refrain from overstepping their bounds.

At most, he'll feel sorry for them.

"Li! Cang! Yao!"

With a rather annoyed shout, Li Cangyao stopped what she was doing and opened her eyes.

When I saw those glassy eyes filled with shame, anger, and a hint of grievance, my heart skipped a beat.

Su Yu tried her best to speak calmly, but he could still hear a slight tremor in her voice.

"Li Cangyao, do you think I'm a promiscuous woman? A woman without morals and without self-respect?"

"Qingyi, I... I never thought that way!" Li Cangyao hurriedly explained.

"Then what did you mean just now?"

"I was just trying to help you, but you... but you actually wanted to!..."

As she said this, Su Yu's eyes welled up with tears, but even more so with coldness and disappointment.

She never expected that Li Cangyao would be this kind of person!

I misjudged you!

"me......"

Seeing Su Yu's strong reaction, Li Cangyao panicked for a moment.

He understood that Qingyi was only cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was certainly not that kind of person. In fact, she valued herself more than any other woman and cherished her chastity more.

Her current cold demeanor indicates that she is angry.

She was really angry.

But she was somewhat stubborn, so she wouldn't give in or confide in anyone; she would just silently swallow her feelings.

She doesn't like me now; you can't force a relationship.

Besides, he considers himself a decent person.

The thought of this made his heart ache.

He wanted to slap himself.

Damn it! I must have been out of my mind to do that to Qingyi!

This is something only Daoist couples would do!

"Qingyi, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that to you. I beg your forgiveness."

"I'll do anything you want, please forgive me..."

Li Cangyao lowered his noble head once again, humbling himself.

The most important thing now is to get Qingyi to forgive him; only then can they move forward.

Seeing that Li Cangyao had actually stopped, Su Yu felt much more at ease.

Thank goodness, at least Li Cangyao is a decent person.

It should be noted that his strength is at least comparable to that of an emperor.

If someone forces themselves on him, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Now that he's backed down, I should give him a way out.

Their things are now in his possession, so their relationship cannot be too distant yet.

Now is the time to show vulnerability appropriately, so as to arouse the other party's protective instincts.

It also made him realize that feelings shouldn't be forced, but rather developed gradually.

Green tea is indeed a skill.

With a sigh in her heart, Su Yu composed herself.

His demeanor was no longer so cold, nor did he show any excessive disappointment towards him.

His crystal-clear eyes were slightly moist, his delicate nose twitched softly, and his imposing manner weakened somewhat.

She wiped away the tears that were about to freeze at the corners of her eyes with her delicate hands, her voice trembling slightly.

“Li Cangyao, I know I am no match for you, and I can roughly guess that you are of noble birth, but…”

"But I, Mu Qingyi, am not such a casual person."

"I don't like you. I live with my own hopes."

“I have been cultivating alone since I started, and now I only want to focus on cultivating the Tao.”

"You may think that because I am weak, I can be manipulated at will, but if anyone dares to covet me, even if it costs me my life, even if my soul is destroyed and I am reduced to ashes, I will not let anyone have their way."

"I... I don't want to be coveted by others..."

As she spoke, a tear rolled down Su Yu's face.

She was no longer as aloof as usual, but rather showed a hint of vulnerability, as if she were confiding in someone.

This scene was like a thunderbolt to Li Cangyao.

Qingyi actually cried?

She cried because of her own rudeness and unreasonable behavior?

She was clearly such a noble and pure woman!

She is sincere, pure and friendly, virtuous and kind, noble and upright, pure and innocent, unconventional, self-reliant, magnanimous, loyal and devoted, and a woman of exceptional beauty.

In short, it's great!

This is worlds apart from those manipulative women who play with other people's feelings!

How can a woman who is willing to give up her life to save others be so easily corrupted?

For a moment, his heart was breaking.

Seeing the stunningly beautiful woman before him so dejected, he longed to hold her in his arms and do everything in his power to comfort her and cheer her up.

However, Qingyi was angry because of his rude behavior just now, so he naturally wouldn't dare to do that now.

He could only approach Su Yu with an expression of utmost sincerity.

"Qingyi, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that."

"You can hit me or yell at me if you want, do whatever you want if you're in a good mood!"

"Qingyi, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Li Cangyao's aggrieved expression, as if he wanted to beat her up, Su Yu chuckled inwardly.

"Are you sure you won't do this again?" Su Yu's gaze swept over the other person as if she were considering him, before she asked tentatively.

Li Cangyao nodded firmly. "From now on, I will never do anything that Qingyi doesn't want me to do."

Under Li Cangyao's anxious and expectant gaze, Su Yu hesitated for a moment before her expression softened.

He parted his lips slightly and exhaled a breath of fresh air.

"You...you should put your clothes on first."

"Oh, oh." Li Cangyao blushed and immediately put on a brand new set of gold-patterned purple robe.

"Actually, you didn't do anything out of line. I just reacted too hastily," Su Yu said.

"No, no, no, it was definitely my fault. I shouldn't have coughed..."

Li Cangyao immediately interrupted, but as he explained, his face turned pale and he became weak.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing this, Su Yu hesitated for a second before going to help him up.

"I'm fine. I'm only alright because of the medicine you just applied. Otherwise, I would have coughed more than a few times," Li Cangyao said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Then how do you plan to completely heal this injury?"

"We'll rest here for a while tonight, and then head to the resort tomorrow. By then, I'll be fully focused on healing."

His gaze would occasionally sweep over Su Yu, his pupils flickering slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

“Okay, then we’ll rest here tonight and leave tomorrow.” Su Yu agreed. He also needed to properly absorb the Emperor’s insights into the Emperor Realm.

With this realization, he believed that he would soon be able to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm.

"By the way, what was the origin of that meteorite from the Tianyang Ruins? Do you know?" Su Yu asked, remembering something.

"The origin of the meteorite?" Li Cangyao narrowed his silver eyes and pondered for a moment.

"It comes from the Void Heaven."
